Any CFAs here?
I am planning to start CFA prep in a couple of months.
I have a B.Tech in Electrical and currently working as ERP Consultant (2+ yoe).
I just want to get into Finance - is it worth investing time and money in CFA? Or are there any alternatives?

I have cleared L1 of CFA after which I discontinued CFA and cleared FRM L1 and planning to do L2. CFA certainly helps in the long run but requires tremendous dedication which unfortunately I didn't have.

Need some advice on FRM prep..pls can you help if possible

Not sure on CFA. But yes Economics, white collar jobs will take you places. Good luck and go for it.

I cleared L1 and then registered for L2 in 2020 than the exam got postponed thrice due to covid and so I basically gave up and canceled it. Go for it if you get are interested in learning finance and have the dedication. It will definitely give ROI if you are able to pass all 3 levels in your first attempt

They’re also looking for an M&A with 1+ years, so it may be easier to aim for that, but I’ve heard horror stories re WLB for M&A. Would still try it out tho bc I’m desperate to leave lit, but don’t want to make a faux pas. Any insights appreciated!

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
